It is a time of peaceful reflection on the goodness and love of God. I love the music, the lights, decorating, and giving gifts. It is a marvelous time of light and joy, the observance and reverence of the Lord's birth. Isaiah 9:6, "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace."

Christmas is a measure of mans willingness to do an act for his family and at the temptation of commercials and pop culture. Not being a religious person, I dont think of it as "Jesus" birthday. I see it as a good excuse to get out of work, and to see old friends and family.
I only really feel good about Christmas when I can give good gifts. I hate giving cheap or unwanted gifts. I will not even show if I cant do something good for someone. That is just what Christmas means to me. Peace.

This is what Christmas means to me:
In the space of the beginning was the living word of light;
When this word was clearly spoken all that came to be was right.
All creation had a language, words to say what must be said;
All day long the heavens whispered, signing words in scarlet red.
Some had failed to understand it so God spoke his final word:
On a silent night in Judah’s hills a baby’s cry was heard.
‘Glory!’ sang the angel chorus; ‘Glory!’ echoed back the night.
Love has come to walk among us; Christ the lord is born this night.
Peace to you, (((hugs))) and Merry Christmas!

It means that I get to go to my dad's house so that he can remain 'a good father' in other people's eyes and I get to hear him disrespect me when the alcohol takes effect on him. I also get to get something that I didn't want after he asked me what I wanted.
While the rest of the family does 'Christmas' without God in their hearts.
I hate Christmas and I hate where it comes from. If they only knew God. Christmas is a good way for the godless to think that they are 'good'.

To me personally Christmas reminds me that Jesus came to save me and the whole world. Christmas is a reminder of how much God loves us.

A traditional time to meet with family and enjoy a break. Ultimately to consider the birth, life, death, burial and resurrection of my Lord. A time to plan for the next year.

a paid day off (whereas I have to use sick days, vacation days or personal time for MY holidays) to go eat a Chinese buffet and then catch a movie with my family. We're Jewish
